The California Heritage Museum is located in the Roy Jones house, a stately green house built in 1984 for Roy Jones, who had strong roots in Santa Monica as his father, Senator John Percival Jones, was the founder of the beach adjacent community. The architect for the house was the acclaimed Sumner P. Hunt. Today, the home houses a museum full of American fine arts and crafts. Special exhibits are often held inside the California Heritage Museum and include historical subjects like Navajo textiles and the skateboard evolution in California plus fun exhibits like awkward family photos.
